I can’t lie to you guys: the idea of a clean-shaven, short-haired Bo Bichette kind of freaks me out a little. It would turn a smoke-circle-friendly face into the kind of person that acts like you’re guilty of assault if you bump into the street.
What doesn’t freak me out, though, is a Yankees infield that goes from a relatively high degree of uncertainty to what would have a chance to be the most competitive infield in the league.
Whispers of a trade having been on the table that would have sent Bichette to the Cubs sent waves around the Hot Stove League last week, and on Monday, Ken Rosenthal added more fuel to the fire with the news that the Blue Jays took some calls surrounding both Bichette and his other nepo-star teammate, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
